Ritron RIB-600Analog Radio-To-Intercom Bridge

Product Overview

The RIB-600Analog Radio-To-Intercom Bridge receiver is designed to interface to an existing wired Public Address Intercom system and allow PA or intercom announcements using your Analog two-way radio. Can operate on a VHF LMR business band, UHF LMR business band, or VHF MURS 2-way radios, and can work through radio repeaters. Designed to leverage your existing intercom system and radio network and add a layer of security.

Wireless technology provides a cost-effective and flexible way to provide Public Address/Mass Notification coverage across your entire facility or to isolated pinpoint locations.

Features

• The Radio-To-Intercom Bridge is designed to be connected to an existing PA/intercom system with its own PA amplifier and wired speakers.
• The Radio-To-Intercom Bridge does not include a backup battery since it is merely a component of a larger system usually powered by AC and its own battery backup system.
• Provides compatibility with business band 2-way radios, License-FREE VHF business band radios (MURS), Family Radio Service, and GMRS radios.
• Provides interconnection to the Public Address amplifier through a high impedance, unbalanced AUX input OR a 600Ω, balanced MIC input. Allows personnel to remain mobile while providing access via 2-way radios to existing PA speakers located throughout the facility.
• "Record and Play" allows the use of radios in close proximity to PA speakers without feedback. The Radio-To-Intercom Bridge records/buffers received messages up to 24 seconds in length, then play them over the PA immediately after releasing the PTT button on the radio.
• Easy "Plug and Play" installation.
• Programmable volume control adjusts audio output level 5-99%. Allows custom adjustment for most applications.
• Selective Decode Signaling Analog: 2-Tone, DTMF, Selcall (Group / All Call).
• Pre-announce tone (similar to existing PA systems) with programmable on/off and volume level.
• NOAA Weather Alert (VHF only).
• Field or PC programmable to frequencies within the respective band (i.e. VHF 150-165 MHz, UHF 450-470 MHz).
• The Radio-To-Intercom Bridge is for indoor use only.
• With 1-year warranty
